Practice The Pause

by Kay Heitsch

When in doubt, pause. When you are angry, pause. When stressed, pause. And when you pause, pray! ~ Quotes ~

There's another quote I really like. It says, "Speak when you are angry and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret." ~ Ambrose Bierce

I like these two quotes because I think they can help us try to keep our mouth shut when our feelings rise up! Just because we're given an opportunity to get angry we don't have to take it.

This Bible verse kinda tells it like it is whether we like it or not. "A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control." Proverbs 29:11 NHEB

When we practice the pause and pray we can keep ourselves under control so we won't make the best speech we'll ever regret.
